Performing at her school wasn't as nerve-racking as she thought it would have been. Her brief tour of the west coast had really helped her in the nerves department - those california crowds were crazy, and she just ate it up. Earlier in the day, around 12, Juli had scouted out the theater and did a quick mike check. She was really excited for this concert because she was going to use a lot of her classmates in the performance - cello, violin, guitar, and flute players and even other vocalists.
Her set list was as follows:
Intro
"Goodbye to You"
"Everything I'm Not"
"This Is How It Feels"
"Someone Wake Me Up" - acoustic
"Take Me on the Floor"
"Everything" - orchestral
Interlude
"I Can't Stay Away" - acoustic
"I Could Get Used to This"
"Hollywood"
"Hook Me Up"
"In Another Life"
"4ever"
When the crowd began to enter the theater, Juli could feel the nervous excitement that was building outside. In the crowd would be friends, classmates, fans but the person she was really wanting to see was none other than Ren. Dressed pretty casual, as she did with most concerts, Juli was wearing a ripped Iron Maiden shirt and a frilly black miniskirt. Her sense of style had always complimented her music - electro-rock with a sophisticated but grungy pop sensibility.
Walking onto the stage, Juli gave a quick welcome and thanked everyone for coming and then jumped into her first song. It was her lead single off her debut album - "Goodbye to You". The song itself was a mix of synth-pop and rock. Two of her favorite genre's (song here). The crowd went crazy and Juli fed off their growing energy. She incorporated ballads, acoustic versions of her songs, orchestral versions and even one acapella song.
By the end, she had blazed around the stage, gone off into the audience and even done some guitar playing. Sadly enough, she hadn't seen Ren. Maybe the girl couldn't make it or maybe she was just hidden in the crowd. Whatever the reason was, it was on the back of Juli's mind as the music took over. After her last song, she walked off stage quite quickly. It was a common practice to do this in the music biz - if the crowd wanted you bad enough, they would keep hollering and yapping until you came back for an encore.
